Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water spray nozzle for extinguishing fire of fixed fire extinguishing equipment used for fixed fire extinguishing equipment such as sprinkler fire extinguishing equipment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle used in this type of sprinkler fire-extinguishing equipment, water is dispersed by a deflector to spray water in a granular state in order to uniformly spray water over the entire protection range. FIG. 11 shows an example (JP-A-5-69730).

FIG. 11 shows a fusible link type fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle, in which a water outlet 102 is formed in a nozzle body 101, and a plug 103 provided in the water outlet 102 and a deflector 1 are shown.
04, and a pair of levers 105a, 105b are locked by contact points 106a, 106b, 106c.
3 is supported in a closed state. A pair of links 108a and 108b fixed by a fuse 107 as a heat-sensitive member are attached to the levers 105a and 105b,
3 is maintained in a closed state.

[0004] The temperature of the fuse 10 increases due to the occurrence of a fire.
When 7 is melted, the pair of links 108a and 108b are disassembled as shown by arrows, the locks of the levers 105a and 105b are released, the levers 105a and 105b are popped by water pressure, and the stopper 103 is dropped from the water outlet 102. Pressurized water spouts from the water outlet 102, and watering starts. At this time, the water jetted from the water outlet 102 hits the deflector 104 and is uniformly sprayed over the entire protection area.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional water sprinkling nozzle for fire extinguishing, a continuous flow of a predetermined flow rate of, for example, 80 liters / min or more per one nozzle is required. Requires a relatively large amount of fire-extinguishing liquid or water, and is naturally radiated to objects other than the fire extinguishing target. There was a problem. In addition, in terms of equipment, there is a problem that the capacity of the water tank and the pump becomes large, the pipe size becomes large, and the cost of the whole equipment becomes high.

[0006] In the conventional watering nozzle, water is dispersed by a deflector and granulated in order to spray water uniformly over the entire protection area. Therefore, in the event of a strong fire, the dispersed water has a small particle size, so it evaporates before it reaches the deep part of the fire, losing the air current of the fire, it takes time to suppress the fire, and it can not be extinguished at all Sometimes.
As a result, the amount of water increases and the damage caused by water damage increases.

Further, from a certain point within the protection range,
Even if the fire of a single point is momentarily weakened by the granular water, the water once applied by the flame near the point evaporates and starts burning again with the nearby flame. Therefore, it takes time to completely extinguish the fire. The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and reduces water loss by reducing the radiation amount per one fire-extinguishing sprinkling nozzle while securing fire-extinguishing ability, thereby reducing water loss. It is an object of the present invention to provide a water spray nozzle for fire extinguishing of fixed fire extinguishing equipment, which can reduce the installation cost by reducing the capacity of a pump or the like.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a fire-extinguishing spray nozzle having a nozzle structure capable of obtaining a uniform spray pattern of water discharged from a slit.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows. The present invention is directed to a fire-extinguishing spray nozzle of a fixed fire-extinguishing facility that is connected to a fire-extinguishing pipe through which fire-extinguishing liquid or fire-extinguishing water is pumped and sprays fire-extinguishing liquid or fire-extinguishing water in the event of a fire.

According to the present invention, such a fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle is provided with a swivelable nozzle portion having a slit for forming a spray pattern for spraying water intensively on a specific portion within a predetermined protection range, A drive unit that rotates a drive shaft using a water flow when sprinkling fire extinguishing liquid or fire extinguishing water from a nozzle unit as a drive source, and inputting the rotation of the drive unit and decelerating the nozzle unit according to a predetermined reduction ratio to rotate the nozzle unit to form a spray pattern. A deceleration unit that scans within a predetermined protection range and sprays water over the entire predetermined protection range, and an impeller that is rotated inside the nozzle unit using a water flow as a driving source when spraying fire extinguishing liquid or fire extinguishing water is provided. It is characterized by having.

According to the fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle of the present invention having such a configuration, a spray pattern is formed so as to intensively spray water in a portion within the protection range, and the inside of the protection range is scanned. Therefore, a large amount of fire extinguishing liquid is radiated instantaneously from a conventional watering nozzle against a fire.
Compared to a water spray nozzle that emits radiation over the entire protection range of 0 liters / minute and a rotation scan of, for example, 40 liters / minute at a rotation speed of about 1 rpm, a higher fire extinguishing ability can be obtained despite the small amount of water in the entire protection range. .

Further, according to the present invention, the amount of water sprinkled instantaneously increases, and at the same time, the hitting power and the particle size of water hitting the fire extinguishing object also increase, so that the fire extinguishing ability increases. That is, in the present invention, the water is not dispersed and granular, but is sprayed on the fire extinguishing target as a lump of water having a strong impact that is intensively sprayed on a specific portion. And the fire extinguishing ability is increased, and the time required to suppress the fire is reduced, and thus the amount of water required to extinguish the fire is reduced. In addition, since the fire is extinguished with the lump of water, the part once extinguished can be prevented from burning up again, and the place once extinguished can be kept in the fire suppression state.

Further, since the fire can be extinguished with a small amount of radiation, damage caused by so-called water damage can be reduced. Further, the tank for the radiated water becomes smaller, the pump has a smaller capacity, the backup facility such as a private power generation facility also has a smaller capacity, and the piping size is smaller, so that the cost is lower. In addition, even if the protection range is enlarged compared to the conventional watering nozzle, by adjusting the scanning time, a large amount of water can be instantaneously radiated against fire, and fire extinguishing performance equal to or better than that Therefore, the number of installed nozzles can be reduced as compared with the conventional watering nozzle.

Further, an impeller provided with a plurality of blades in a direction substantially perpendicular to the slit direction and rotated by the water flow of the nozzle portion as a driving source is provided inside the nozzle portion having the slit opened, which is ideal. Scatter pattern is obtained. That is, in the case of only the slit, the water coming out of the slit falls so as to collect each other, so that an ideal spray pattern in which the spray amount is uniform is not obtained. However, by dividing the water into individual solids by the blades of the rotating impeller and discharging the water from the slits, the water discharged from the slits is prevented from gathering and falling, and an ideal spray pattern can be obtained.

In the fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle of the present invention, the slit width of the slit portion is set to be wider at a slit portion where water is sprayed to a remote portion within the protection range. Further, the fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle of the present invention is of a closed type, and the nozzle portion is connected to a valve element that opens and closes an internal inflow path, and the valve element is constantly monitored by a heat-sensitive operating mechanism that drops off when a predetermined temperature is reached by a fire. It is held at a position where the inflow passage is closed. When the heat-sensitive operation mechanism is disassembled, it descends to expose the tip of the nozzle portion, and opens the inflow passage by the valve element to flow fire extinguishing liquid or fire extinguishing water.

With respect to the closed type fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle, a first strainer is provided on a primary side of an inflow passage closed in a steady monitoring state by a valve body, and a second strainer is provided on a secondary side thereof. The clogging of the flow path due to foreign matter such as dust mixed in the water is prevented. Here, the mesh of the first strainer installed on the primary side of the valve body filled with fire extinguishing liquid or fire extinguishing water is made coarse, and the mesh of the second strainer installed on the secondary side of the valve body that is open to the atmosphere is made fine. doing.

This focuses on the property that the finer the mesh used in the strainer is, the easier it is to rust, and the mesh of the first strainer installed on the primary side of the valve body containing the fire extinguishing liquid or water for fire extinguishing is roughened. And make it hard to rust. Even if the mesh of the first strainer is roughened, foreign matter such as dust can be surely removed because the second strainer is fine on the open side to the atmosphere.

In the case of a closed type fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle that opens and closes a valve body by a heat-sensitive operating mechanism, a nozzle unit including a drive unit, a deceleration unit, and an impeller is arranged in order from the inflow path side with respect to the nozzle body. The nozzle is slidable in the axial direction and connected via a slide connection that rotates integrally around the axis, and the rotation of the drive unit is applied to the nozzle while the nozzle is slid when the heat-sensitive operation mechanism is disassembled. introduce.

[0019]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing the appearance of a water spray nozzle for fire extinguishing in a fixed fire extinguishing equipment according to the present invention. The fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle 1 of the present invention has a cylindrical nozzle body 2, and a connection screw portion connected to a fire-extinguishing pipe to which a fire-extinguishing liquid or water extinguished by a fire-extinguishing pump is supplied above the nozzle body 2. A heat-sensitive operating mechanism 4 is provided at the lower part of the nozzle body 2 and drops off when a predetermined temperature is reached by a fire.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the internal structure of FIG. 1. The left side of the center line shows the internal structure in which the case of the nozzle body 2 is cut off, and the right half shows the cross section of the internal structure. In FIG. 2, the nozzle body 2 has four cases 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d axially connected by screwing in from the upper side where the connection screw portion 3 is provided. An inflow passage 5 is formed in the connection screw portion 3 provided integrally with the upper case 2 a in the axial direction, and a valve body 11 integrally formed at a tip of a shaft 12 disposed at the center of the nozzle body 2 is provided. The inflow passage 5 is closed in a steady monitoring state by being housed in the seat 11a.

For this reason, the inflow passage 5 is divided into a primary inflow passage 5a and a secondary inflow passage 5b by closing the inflow passage 5 by the valve element 11. The first strainer 13 is provided on the primary-side inflow path 5a side divided by closing the valve body 11, while the second strainer 14 is provided on the secondary-side inflow path 5b. The first strainer 13 and the second strainer 14 are both for removing foreign substances such as fire extinguishing liquid and fire extinguishing water mixed under pressure and supplied to the primary side inflow passage 5 a closed by the valve element 11. Is filled with a fire extinguishing liquid or water for fire extinguishing in a pressurized state in a steady monitoring state, and a first strainer 13 is installed therein. On the other hand, the second strainer 14 is open to the atmosphere because it is located on the secondary inflow path 5b of the inflow path 5 closed by the valve element 11.

It is generally known that a strainer having a mesh structure has a greater degree of corrosion when immersed in water as the mesh is smaller. Therefore, according to the present invention, the first side of the primary inflow passage 5a immersed in the fire extinguishing liquid or fire extinguishing water is used.
The mesh of the strainer 13 is enlarged to make it less likely to corrode, while the second strainer 14 installed in a state open to the atmosphere side has a fine mesh. This makes it difficult for the first strainer 13 installed on the primary-side inflow path 5a side to corrode, thereby enhancing durability.

The first strainer 13 and the second strainer 1
A drive section 6 is provided following the inflow path 5 in which the section 4 is installed. The drive unit 6 has a water wheel structure in which a plurality of impellers 6a are arranged on the outer periphery of a cylindrical casing 6b. The casing 6b is rotatable via a bearing 17 mounted on a housing 16 integrally formed inside the case 2b. Is instructed. Therefore, when the fire extinguishing liquid or the fire extinguishing water is sprinkled, the casing 6b is rotated by receiving the water flow flowing from top to bottom by the impeller 6a.

The drive unit 6 has a speed reduction unit 7 incorporated therein. The housing 15 is screwed and fixed to a housing 16 integrally formed inside the case 2b, and a shaft 12 having a valve body 11 is slidably fitted in the center axis direction of the housing 15. On the upper side of the housing 16, there is formed a valve element storage portion 16a for storing when the shaft 12 is lowered and the valve element 11 is separated from the valve seat 11a and opened.

In this embodiment, a double planetary gear mechanism is used as the speed reducer 7. That is, the sun gear 18 a is fixed to the housing 15 screwed and fixed to the housing 16, and the internal gear 21 is disposed outside the sun gear 18 a via the planetary gear 19, and the internal gear 21 is fixed inside the casing 6 b of the drive unit 6. Have been.

The planetary gear 19 is a carrier case 20
It is rotatably mounted on. Subsequently, the sun gear 18b is connected to the housing 1 on the shaft 12 side in the same manner as the upper sun gear 18a.
5 and the planetary gear 2 with respect to the sun gear 18b.
2, an internal gear 23 fixed to the carrier case 20 is engaged. The planetary gear 22 is rotatably mounted on a carrier case 24 as a rotation output member.

The double planetary gear mechanism of the speed reducer 7 has a gear arrangement as shown in FIG. With such a double planetary gear mechanism, for example, the water flow rotation of the impeller 6a of the drive unit 6 due to the water flow can be taken out as the rotation of the carrier case 24 at a high reduction ratio of, for example, 1/1000 or less. Referring again to FIG.
The gap between the outer peripheral surface of the upper part of the housing 6b and the inner peripheral surface of the housing 16 and the clearance between the inner peripheral surface of the housing 6b and the lower part and the outer peripheral surface of the carrier case 24 are designed to be as narrow as possible. This is because the debris in the fire extinguishing water enters the reduction unit 7 from the gap and the gear mechanism is jammed.
Prevents inoperability. Therefore, the speed reduction unit 7 is housed in the drive unit 6 in a state of being substantially enveloped.

Subsequent to the speed reduction section 7, a nozzle section 8 is provided. The upper portion of the nozzle portion 8 is attached to a fixed guide 25 extending in the axial direction from the carrier case 24 of the speed reduction portion 7 so as to be slidable in the axial direction and connected around the axis by the slider connecting portion 26. I have. That is, in the slider connecting portion 26 of the nozzle portion 8, the sliders 27 slidable with respect to the fixed guide 25 extending from the carrier case 24 are arranged at, for example, four places in the circumferential direction.
7 is integrally formed and supported around the flange 28, and the flange 28 is fixed to the tip of the shaft 12 via a retainer 34 by a screw 35. Further, a spring 30 is incorporated between the retainer 34 and the stopper member 29 on the side of the deceleration section 7 located above, and presses the nozzle section 8 side downward.

The structure of the slider connecting portion 26 is shown in FIG.
FIG. 4 shows a cross section. In FIG. 4, the slider connecting portion 26 on the nozzle portion 8 side is provided with a central flange 28.
The slider 27 is arranged at four places around the slider 27, and the slider 27 extends in the axial direction with respect to the flange 28 as shown in FIG. A fixed guide 25 extending from a carrier case 24 serving as a rotation output member of the deceleration unit 7 located on the upper side of the slider connecting portion 26 on the nozzle portion 8 side has a slider 27 formed at four locations. It is located in two places between. For this reason, the slider 27 on the nozzle portion 8 side can move in the axial direction with respect to the fixed guide 25 on the deceleration section 7 side, but is connected to the fixed guide 25 around the axis, so that rotation from the fixed guide 25 side is stopped. In response, the slider 27 is rotated integrally with the flange 28.

Referring again to FIG. 2, a guide plate 31 is screwed and fixed above the nozzle portion 8. As shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 4, the inside of the guide plate 31 is formed by connecting the inner peripheral portion 31 a to the outer periphery of the fixed guide 25 and the nozzle portion 8.
Are located in the space between the inner circumferences of the sliders 27, and extend to the center side at two portions where there is no fixed guide 25 between the sliders 27, so that the inner peripheral portion 31a is hooked on the slider 27. Has become. For this reason, the guide plate 31 forms a slider connecting portion that is slidable in the axial direction with respect to the slider 27 and that rotates integrally around the axis.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the guide plate 3
A sheet 32 is sandwiched and fixed between the nozzle 1 and the upper end of the nozzle portion 8 at the time of screwing. The seat 32 has a size extending to the inner circumference of the case 2c. When the heat-sensitive operating part 4 reaches a predetermined temperature due to a fire and falls off, the sheet 32 descends together with the nozzle part 8 and is pressed against the sheet pressing step part 33, and water passing between the outer case and the nozzle part 8. It functions as a valve seat that prevents leakage of gas.

In the spherical portion at the tip of the nozzle portion 8, a slit 10 is formed around a vertical radius as shown by an imaginary line. An impeller 9 having a rotating shaft portion 40 with respect to a fixed shaft 39 arranged horizontally is rotatably incorporated inside the nozzle portion 8 having the slit 10 formed therein. Impeller 9
Is provided with a plurality of blades arranged in a horizontal direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of the slit 10 of the nozzle portion 8.

The impeller 9 is also rotated in the vertical direction, that is, in the direction of the slit 10, by receiving the water flow when the heat-sensitive operation mechanism 4 reaches a predetermined temperature due to the fire and drops, and is sprayed with water. The rotation of the impeller 9 in the direction of the slit 10 during the sprinkling is performed by dividing the water sprinkled from the slit 10 into one lump by dividing the water sprinkled by the impeller 9 orthogonal to the slit. This solves the problem that an ideal watering pattern cannot be formed due to water gathering and falling due to the nature of water sticking in watering.

Inside the lowermost case 2d of the nozzle body 2, a stopper ball 37 and a lock ball 3
8 are provided. The stopper portion 37 receives the stopper portion 36 of the nozzle portion 8 and locks the nozzle portion 8 at this position because the nozzle portion 8 descends when the heat-sensitive operation mechanism 4 falls off. The heat-sensitive operation mechanism 4 includes a set screw 48
The heat collecting plate 44 is fixed by a fuse 47 that melts at a predetermined temperature, and the set screw 48 supports the tip of the nozzle portion 8 via the heat collecting plates 45 and 46, the holding plate 43, and the lock ball 38. The case 2d is supported and fixed to a stepped portion at the inner front end of the case 2d by being attached to a screw portion projecting from the center of the supporting plate 42.

Therefore, when the heat from the fire is received by the heat collecting plate 44 and the temperature reaches a predetermined temperature, the fuse 47 is melted, and the heat collecting plates 44, 45, 46, the holding plate 43, and the lock ball 38 are formed.
Are released, and the support plate 42 also falls off with them. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of the appearance when the heat-sensitive operating mechanism 4 of the fire-extinguishing spray nozzle 1 of the present invention shown in FIG. That is, when the heat-sensitive operation mechanism 4 shown in FIG. 1 is actuated and dropped, the support of the nozzle portion 8 housed in the nozzle body 2 is released as is clear from FIG. Jumps out downward, and water is sprayed from the slit 10 at the tip.

As is clear from FIG. 5, the width of the slit 10 is wider at the upper slit portion where water is scattered far. This is because the width of the upper slit 10 is widened to increase the amount of fire extinguishing water in order to uniformly spray water in a specific part of the protection range. FIG. 6 shows the internal structure in the operating state of FIG. 5 in a sectional view on the right side of the axis center, and the left side shows the internal structure in the same steady monitoring state as FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, when the heat-sensitive operation mechanism 4 holding the nozzle 8 in the steady monitoring state falls off when the temperature reaches a predetermined temperature due to a fire, the holding of the nozzle 8 is released,
The nozzle unit 8 moves down to the position shown in the figure. At the same time, the shaft 12 is lowered together with the valve body 11 by the force of the spring 30 and the pressing force of the valve body 11 due to the pressurization of the fire-extinguishing liquid or the fire-extinguishing water applied to the primary-side inflow passage 5a. 1
6a, whereby the internal inflow passage 5 is opened.

The fire extinguishing liquid or water for fire extinguishing which flows in from the upper part as shown by the arrow when the inflow passage 5 is opened by the valve body 11 passes through the first strainer 13 and the second strainer 14 and then passes through the outside of the drive unit 6. The impeller 6a receives this water flow and rotates the casing 6b. The rotation of the drive unit 6 due to the water flow is transmitted to the reduction unit 7 and is reduced, and the reduced rotation is output to the fixed guide 25 extending below the carrier case 24.

With respect to the fixed guide 25, the slider 27 of the slider connecting portion 26 is located at a position slid downward,
A protruding portion inside the guide plate 31 fixed to the upper end of the nozzle portion 8 is located below the slider 27. For this reason, the output rotation of the reduction section 7 with respect to the fixed guide section 25 is transmitted to the guide plate 31 via the slider 27 and further transmitted to the nozzle section 8 to rotate about the axis. At this time, the number of rotations of the nozzle section 8 is about 1 rpm, for example, when the watering flow rate is 40 liters / minute.

At the same time, the water flow passing through the nozzle portion 8 rotates the impeller 9 provided inside the formation portion of the slit 10 at the tip. The impeller 9 has the blades arranged in a direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of the slit 10. Therefore, when the slit 10 is viewed from the outside, a rectangular opening partitioned by the interval of the blades orthogonal to the slit direction is formed in the slit 10. Is moved in the direction of the slit, and a water lump which is divided by a rectangular area in which the slit is partitioned by orthogonal blades is discharged.

For this reason, when water is sprayed from a mere slit 10 and water is discharged in a curtain shape along the slit, when the water falls into the protection range, the water collects and falls. By dividing the water by the rotation of, the water is sprayed as one lump, and it does not gather when falling into the protection range, and an ideal spraying pattern that is evenly sprayed is obtained.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory view of the spray pattern of the fire-extinguishing spray nozzle 1 of the present invention. In a fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle 1 installed on a ceiling surface or the like, a nozzle portion 8 protruding downward in an operating state rotates as shown by an arrow due to a water flow due to water spray, and a water discharge pattern 50 from a slit 10 provided in the nozzle portion 8.
Is performed, and a belt-shaped spray pattern 5
Form one. The spray pattern 51 rotates as indicated by an arrow with the rotation of the nozzle unit 8, and scans a predetermined protection range 52.

The reason that the rotational force of the drive unit 6 is transmitted to the nozzle unit 8 after being decelerated by the reduction unit 7 at a predetermined reduction ratio is that if the nozzle unit 8 is rotated only by the impeller 6a, the nozzle speed is extremely high. The fire extinguishing water sprinkled from the nozzle 8 is dispersed from a lump to a granular form, and the sprinkling pattern in which water is intensively sprayed to a specific portion within the protection range cannot be formed. From a certain point, the amount of fire-extinguishing water that arrives in one scan is reduced, the particle diameter is reduced, and the hitting power is reduced, resulting in reduced fire-extinguishing ability. In order to prevent this and to form a watering pattern in which water is intensively sprayed, it is necessary to set the scanning speed of the spraying pattern to a relatively low speed that can maintain the shape of the spraying pattern. ing.

FIG. 8 shows a temporal change of the water spray amount as viewed from a certain point in the protection range 52 of FIG. 7, and FIG. 8A shows the water spray amount of the conventional fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle. B) is the watering amount of the fire-extinguishing watering nozzle of the present invention. In the conventional fire-extinguishing spray nozzle of FIG. 8A, a constant amount of water is sprayed at all times even when viewed from a certain point in the protection range 52. On the other hand, in the fire-extinguishing spray nozzle of the present invention shown in FIG. 8B, a large amount of water is intermittently sprayed at a constant period depending on the rotation scanning speed of the spray pattern 51.

As described above, when the fire-extinguishing spray nozzle of the present invention is used, a larger amount of fire-extinguishing water or fire-extinguishing liquid than a conventional spray nozzle is instantaneously provided for a fire when viewed from a part of the protection range 52. Water is sprinkled, and a higher fire extinguishing ability can be obtained by instantaneously concentrating a large amount of water than by continuously spraying a fixed amount of water. For this reason, for example, the conventional 80
Compared to a case where the spraying nozzle of the whole radiation of the protection range 52 of liter / min and the fire extinguishing nozzle according to the present invention have a watering amount of 40 liter / min and a scanning speed of about 1 rpm, the protection range 52 as a whole is seen. Higher fire extinguishing performance can be obtained despite a small amount of water.

In the fire-extinguishing water spray nozzle of the present invention, fire can be extinguished with a small amount of water spray, so that damage caused by water damage can be reduced. For this reason, the fire extinguishing water tank can be made smaller, and if the fire extinguishing capacity is made equivalent to the conventional one, the water pressure in the piping can be suppressed as compared with the conventional case, so the fire extinguishing pump has a smaller capacity, and furthermore, the fire extinguishing pump can be used independently. Backup equipment such as power generation equipment can be made small in capacity, and the piping size can be reduced, so that equipment costs can be significantly reduced.

Also, when viewed from a certain point in the protection area 52, the present invention instantaneously increases the amount of water spray and simultaneously extinguishes the fire, compared to the conventional method of watering the entire protection area 52. Since the hitting power and the particle size of the water reaching the object also increase, the fire extinguishing ability increases. That is, in the present invention, water is sprayed on the fire extinguishing target as a mass of water having a strong impact that is scattered intensively on a specific portion instead of being dispersed in granular form, so that the fire can reach the deep part without losing the fire current. Reached and fire extinguishing ability increased.

Therefore, the time required for extinguishing the fire can be reduced, and the amount of water can be reduced. Furthermore, since the fire is extinguished with the lump of water, the once extinguished portion does not burn up again, and the place once extinguished can be kept in a fire suppression state. FIG. 9 shows a state of fire extinguishing by spraying water according to the present invention in comparison with the conventional method. FIG. 9 (C) shows a conventional watering pattern (plan view). In the conventional watering ability, in order to uniformly spray water over the entire protection range 52, fire extinguishing water is dispersed by a deflector and granulated to spray water. In the range 52, a spot-like scatter pattern 54 of granular water having various sizes with relatively small particle diameters is obtained.

Therefore, when the fire is strong, the dispersed water loses the fire current due to the small particle size and the flame 5
Before reaching the deep part of No.3, it evaporates and it takes time to suppress the fire, and sometimes the fire cannot be extinguished at all. For this reason, the amount of fire extinguishing water increases, and the damage caused by water damage increases. Further, when viewed from a certain point in the protection range 52, even if the fire flame 53 at that point is momentarily weakened by the granular water, the water once splashed by the flame 53 near that point evaporates,
It begins to burn again with a nearby flame. Therefore, it takes time to completely extinguish the fire.

FIGS. 9 (A) and 9 (B) show the spraying of the belt-like spraying pattern according to the present invention, in which a spraying pattern 51 for spraying a large amount of fire extinguishing water intensively on a certain portion within the protection range 52 is formed. . For this reason, the amount of sprinkling increases instantaneously, and at the same time, the hitting power and the particle size of the fire-extinguishing water hitting the fire-extinguishing object increase, so that the fire-extinguishing ability increases. That is, in the spraying pattern 51 of the present invention, the fire extinguishing water is not a dispersed granular form as shown in FIG. Sprinkled on For this reason, the fire reaches the deep portion of the flame 53 without losing the fire airflow, and the fire extinguishing ability is increased, so that the time until the fire is suppressed is short, and the amount of water until the fire is extinguished is also small.

Further, as shown in FIG.
Since the entire area of the protection area 52 is scanned in 1 to extinguish the fire with massive water, the fire extinguishing portion 55 once extinguished can be prevented from burning up again, and the place once extinguished can be maintained in a fire extinguishing state. Further, since the nozzle portion 8 is formed so as to spray a large amount of water on a certain portion in the protection range 52, the protection range 52
Even if is larger than the conventional watering nozzle, a large amount of water can be sprinkled instantaneously against the fire by adjusting the scanning time, so that fire extinguishing performance equal to or higher than the conventional one can be obtained. Therefore, the number of installed nozzles can be reduced as compared with the conventional watering nozzle.

For example, according to the present invention, the mounting pitch can be set to 2.6 meters in comparison with the case where eight watering nozzles are conventionally installed in the predetermined protection range 52 with the mounting pitch of 2.3 meters. As a result, the number of watering nozzles to be installed can be reduced to four. FIG. 10 shows the nozzle section 8

As described above, according to the present invention, a spray pattern is formed so as to spray water intensively on a portion within the protection area, and the area within the protection area is scanned. On the other hand, a large amount of fire extinguishing liquid or fire extinguishing water is released instantaneously, so that a higher fire extinguishing ability is obtained and damage from water damage is reduced.

When the equipment capacity is the same as the conventional capacity, the water pressure in the piping can be suppressed, the water tank and the pump are reduced in capacity, the piping size is reduced, and furthermore, it is possible to reduce Since the nozzle is formed so that water is intensively sprayed, even if the protection range is wider than before, the same fire extinguishing ability can be maintained as before, and the number of installed nozzles can be reduced, and as a result, equipment costs can be reduced .

Further, an impeller provided with a plurality of blades in a direction substantially orthogonal to the slit direction is provided inside the nozzle portion having the slit opened, and the water flow at the time of sprinkling is rotated as a driving source. In the case of the above, the water coming out of the slit is held together so that it does not become an ideal spraying pattern.On the other hand, the water is divided into individual lumps by the blades of the rotating impeller, and it comes out from the slit. In addition, it is possible to suppress the water that has come out of the slits from collecting and falling, and to obtain an ideal spray pattern in which the spray amount is made uniform.
